Bit of advise needed to get started

Hi.

Just got a Wii and have been reading guides and various forums for about a week trying to figure out what to do and what everything means.

My Wii is a 4.1E, so what is the best method for getting HBC and then get playing back-ups, probably from burned disc rather than from USB as I don’t currently have an external HDD. I’ve read the various guides on the ►RECOMMENDED FAQ's, GUIDES & TUTORIALS ONLY ◄ part of the forum, but which one do I use as they all seem a little different o each other.

i.e. do I use the “How to get Homebrew Channel on virgin 4.0 Wii!” and then the guide linked within that guide called “New 3.1-3.4 Downgrade-Preloader-Gamma” or do I just use “Wii Softmods for Dummies 4.1”.

Thanks in advance.

I would stick with the guides for 4.0 / 4.1 since thats the system you are on.

It really is personal choice as to if you downgrade or stay on 4.1E;
It would be easier to use http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...s-any-wii.html
this will allow you to stay on 4.1E.
Which ever way you chose I recommend that as soon as you have done it install Preloader 0.29 and Bootmii, these will help prevent/recover you bricking your wii.

If you wish to downgrade you can use either of the tutes they are all tried and tested.
